@JessicaTaylorTX

Guillermo Gonzalez with the state is continuing the prosecution’s argument. Seems he’s poking at defense attorney Rick Cofer, by saying “but Rick” before several questions. Like, “But Rick, isn’t Colin Strickland on video at pool burger when the * keep is driving around?”

I don't care for the "but Rick" he could just leave that off and I think be more effective

“But Ric”

I’m dying

Defense finishes closing arguments. State attorney Guillermo Gonzalez will be giving the rebuttal.Gonzalez pointing out all the questions the jury should have for themselves re: the defense's posed rabbit holes they were instructed to chase. "But Rick!" is the theme of this monologue.

But Rick...You are getting schooled!

This is brilliant. Well played, prosecution.

Gonzalez is fired up! He has passion in his voice, particularly when the defense objected to the statements in his monologue. The Judge told the Jury to only consider the evidence in this case and not the argument that just unfolded.

"This case is all about what is reasonable, common sense and the evidence. That's all I'm going to ask you to do. Be reasonable, use common sense and look at the evidence," Gonzalez says.

Absolutely! Defense provided metaphors only. moo

He tells the jury to take their time, to look at the evidence and to talk among themselves. That's what deliberation is.Gonzalez discussing Strickland's laptop and iPads. The vandalism. Gonzalez says there was no talk about the relevance of those items. Gonzalez reminds them that all the evidence points to Strickland being innocent. He calls the defense strategy a red herring and a distraction. "Don't take your eyes off the ball."

Outstanding prosecution team! Well done. moo

Her sister is there for closing arguments!

I have to wonder if anyone on the Armstrong side has changed their belief in Kaitlin's innocence after sitting through the testimony and presentation of evidence. (Yes, I know Christine was not in the courtroom, but has certainly been in communication with her family.)

@alcaprari23

Now talking about DNA evidence."Defense is asking you to speculate..." as he mentions the defense's theory about transfer DNA. But Gonzalez says there is no evidence to prove that.DNA does not show how it gets to where it ends up, only that it exists.

@alcaprari23

Says the defense's theory would be a four-time DNA transfer. The expert testified that he had rarely heard of a successful four-time transfer of DNA.

My subjective opinion is that there’s much more than meets the eye with this fam. Edit: Especially considering not one friend of KA testified in her defense.

@JessicaTaylorTX

Armstrong is watching as the prosecution tell jurors that all of this evidence points back to her. No emotion from Armstrong.

Could everyone please keep your mitts off of Mo's bicycle please?

@alcaprari23

Gonzalez: "Not one bit of Colin Strickland DNA is on this bike."Gonzalez picks up the bike and shows the way that most people would logically carry a bicycle: by the handlebars and seat. And that's the reason why, Gonzalez says, Kaitlin Armstrong's DNA is there.
